Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras on Sunday visited the Hellenic Air Force's 135 Combat Group on the island of Skyros, where he ascertained that the crews and technicians of the 'readiness' aircraft stationed there are fully prepared to carry out their mission.

Greece’s National Defence Minister Panos Kammenos reacted to the Turkish provocation at the islets of Imia in the Aegean Sea nearly two days after the incident occurred.

The Greek government seems surprised by the unexpected escalation of the Turkish provocations, as Ankara seems to seek to change the status quo of the Imia rocks and essentially present them from a “no man’s land-grey zone”, as they considered until now the two islets to be, to “Turkish islands”.
